Emmy’s Organics (Ithaca, NY) was awarded a prestigious Local Producer Loan from Whole Foods Market.
This loan is given to independent local farmers and food artisans to help launch their newest products in the marketplace, reported the company, noting Whole Foods has provided up to $25 million in support of the mission.
Emmy’s Organics owners, Samantha Abrams and Ian Gaffney, started the company after meeting at a musical festival. The two enjoyed learning and experimenting with food and as a result started making everything in Ian’s mother Emmy’s kitchen. Their newest product, Super Cereals, is a line of gluten-free, non-GMO and vegan buckwheat cereal.
According to the company, the product is based in “activated” and caramelized buckwheat. Abrams said the loan gave the company the support needed to launch a new cereal line.
“The flavors are the best! My favorite is the Apricot Vanilla which features a custom cut dried apricot that is coated in coconut. There is fresh vanilla bean in there too,” said Abrams. “The cereals are hearty and keep you sustained and energized for a long time. This is a very unique new product that we can’t wait to share!”
